Is it possible to only allow certain values through dropdowns rather than free text when people edit their profile? For instance to limit choice of company, organisation, county or location.
I want to show a 'friendly' name but store the actual value in sharepoint/active directory. Source of names/values could be a list or a database.
If not out of the box, is there a page/control I could edit then it could be possible to add this functionality via JavaScript/jQuery.
Update (14 Oct 2010):
I have looked at term store, however it does not show as an option when the type is set to string (Single Value). Also, if you can't use a dropdown, how can you restrict what the user enters? This is important as spelling mistakes can be made when users type and I want to prevent this happening. Hence why I was wondering which master page or control (in the 14 hive I presume) I need to edit to work around this (e.g. replacing the text box with a dropdown via JavaScript).
As well as that, when I do edit a property that allows a term set to be selected, the dropdown just has 'Wiki Categories' in it, repeated about 10 times, but does not appear when I look at the term set. I am a farm administrator, yet can't do anything with the term sets, even after adding myself as an administrator for the Managed Metadata Service application.
